type: Product
description: Pale Blue Flowers Bring a Softer Glow to the Shade Garden Opal Lungwort brings luminous spring color into shaded garden beds with clusters of pale blue flowers that can appear almost white in cool light. The blossoms begin as soft pink buds before opening to a clear opal-blue, allowing pink and blue tones to appear together on the plant. Its light flower color makes Opal especially useful in areas where deeper blues, purples or reds might disappear into the shade. The blooms catch available light beneath trees and shrubs, creating a brighter effect along woodland paths, shaded foundations and partially enclosed garden spaces. Opal is also a freely flowering cultivar.

Opal typically blooms from March through May, depending on the growing zone and seasonal temperatures. Its early flowering period helps fill the gap between late-winter bulbs and the main flush of spring perennials. The blossoms provide nectar and pollen for bees and other beneficial insects emerging early in the season. Although the flowers are visually delicate, they are carried on stiff stems that rise clearly above the f…
